II, 14. Gray bucchero. Clay as in 8-1516–1517, with a few more impurities; surface not quite so well polished, varying from typical gray bucchero to dark brown.

Three rows of semicircular vertical hooks support twenty loose rings; alternate hooks on the lower row have two legs, and carry no rings. A crude figure of a man standing “in an archway" is repeated four times in the open work of the lower part. About half of the upper basin and a small part of the foot are restored. Reproduced in Not. Sc., 1898, p. 447, fig. 9, center, from Poggio Buco.
